City of Arts and Sciences' in Valencia's

2012-02-22T23:24:00.000-08:00

Today we have the example of "City of Arts and Sciences' in Valencia's see how hopelessly far behind our architecture. At a time when Moscow was built temples of bad taste - Ryad shopping mall on the Manazhke, TC "Atrium" and dozens of other squalid sheds, the Spanish built the city of Arts and Sciences. The design belongs to the Valencia architect Santiago Calatrava, construction began in 1996. The complex is one of the outstanding examples of modern architecture. In Russia, this will not build another 20 years.

"The City" consists of five buildings, commonly referred to by their Valencian (Catalan) Names:

El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía - Opera house and the scene for other theater

L'Hemisfèric - Cinema Imax, planetarium, laser theater productions

L'Umbracle - Gallery / Garden

El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe - Science Museum

L'Oceanogràfic - Oceanographic park in the open air.

The complex is surrounded by parks, streams and pools, this area - a popular place of recreation for residents and visitors alike, there are bars and cafes. Types of air stolen from the internet)

At the spot where now stands a complex of buildings of Calatrava, formerly a river Turia, which was drained after a flood in 1957. By 1980, there grew a garden, which is called - Garden River Turia.

In April 1998, the complex opened its doors to the public from the building of L'Hemisfèric. Eleven months later, the president of Valencia, Eduardo Zaplana opened the El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe, although the museum has not yet been completed. The museum was opened to the public twenty months later. December 12, 2002 the opening of the L'Oceanographic (the largest aquarium in Europe). Finally, October 8, 2005 Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía was inaugurated and became an opera house in Valencia.

This is an interactive science museum, reminiscent of the skeleton of a whale. Its area - 40,000 m ² - is the biggest building in town. It is unique in that it does not have a single right angle.

But, as always happens in the event of something new and does not fit into the framework of everyday life, the City of Science project has caused controversy among the people. For example, the People's Party saw in the City of Science "work the Pharaohs," which will only serve up to inflate the ego of socialists, advancing this initiative. Tower has become the main target of criticism, but, nevertheless, continued construction of the project.

Museum of Science and Technology, adapted for students who are asked to always touch and operate its exhibits.

Planetarium, built in the shape of the eye, the eyelid which can be raised and lowered. The area of ??this building is 13,000 m ². Here, the first day of opening, and remarkably beautiful laser show, which brought together all of Valencia.

The discovery of Calatrava - a huge swimming pool that surrounds the complex. Reflected in the mirror of water, doubling the hemisphere, shutting it all around, in the form of the human eye.

Art Gallery. Here, along the main axis of the complex, there is a transition length of 320 m and 60 m wide, filled with a variety of vegetation. It is a winter garden, adorned with 55 arches and 54 fixed - mobile, height 18 m

The bridge connects the city with the south side of Minorca Street

Most Unusual Deaths

2012-02-22T23:20:00.000-08:00

Some very unusual ways to meet your maker. Some just seem like very poor judgment calls though. In no particular order.

1979: Robert Williams, a worker at a Ford Motor Co. plant, was the first known human to be killed by a robot, after the arm of a one-ton factory robot hit him in the head.

2005: Lee Seung Seop, a 28-year-old South Korean, collapsed of fatigue and died after playing the video game Star Craft online for almost 50 consecutive hours in an Internet cafe.

2007: Kevin Whitrick, a 42-year-old man, committed suicide by hanging himself live on a webcam during an Internet chat session.

1998: Tom and Eileen Lonergan were stranded while scuba diving with a group of divers off Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. The group’s boat accidentally abandoned them owing to an incorrect head count taken by the dive boat crew. Their bodies were never recovered. The incident inspired the film Open Water and an episode of 20/20.

1996: Sharon Lopatka, an Internet entrepreneur from Maryland, allegedly solicited a man via the Internet to torture and kill her for the purpose of sexual gratification. Her killer, Robert Fredrick Glass, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter for the homicide.

The gas cloud immediately settled (carbon dioxide is heavier than air) and covered an area of up to 12 miles (20 km) from the lake, killing all oxygen-breathing life almost instantly – although the nearby vegetation, which consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, flourished afterwards.

1993: Actor Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, was shot and killed by Michael Massee using a prop gun while filming the movie The Crow. A cartridge with only a primer and a bullet was fired in the pistol before the fatal scene; this caused a squib load, in which the primer provided enough force to push the bullet out of the cartridge and into the barrel of the revolver, where it became stuck. The malfunction went unnoticed by the crew, and the same gun was used again later to shoot the death scene. His death was not instantly recognized by the crew or other actors; they believed he was still acting

1999: Owen Hart, a Canadian-born professional wrestler for WWF, died during a pay-per-view event when performing a stunt.

Thar Desert in the Indian state of Rajasthan

2012-02-16T06:07:00.000-08:00

The travelers, wandering the endless roads of unrelenting Thar Desert in the Indian state of Rajasthan, just know its destination. The sky will fall to the ground and everything will turn into a single color - blue. Jodhpur is brought before them, like the azure treasure in the desert.

It is not known why the inhabitants of a fortified city - known as the "blue city" - the building was stained with various shades of blue. Many believe that this is due to the prevailing caste system in India.

It is believed that the Brahmins - members of a caste of priests - the first to paint their homes in a blue color (may be called the color indigo) to show them a permanent place of residence and to stand out among others. But soon other residents followed suit. History has not preserved the name of a brave man who first made it, but it happened, and from that day all the inhabitants of Jodhpur always faithful to tradition.

Ask any local resident, why all the houses are painted that way, and the usual answer will be - this color remains cool inside and repels insects. Yet, if this were true, then the various shades of indigo, a long time would have been painted the entire continent.

Symbol - a more likely answer. It seems that the blue Dzhhodpura - causing a demonstration of human resilience in the harsh Thar Desert, which surrounds the city. On joyless background brown scorched earth blue city looks amazing.

It is located 335 kilometres (208 mi) west from the state capital, Jaipur and 200 kilometres (124 mi) from the city of Ajmer. It was formerly the seat of a princely state of the same name, the capital of the kingdom known as Marwar. Jodhpur is a popular tourist destination, featuring many palaces, forts and temples, set in the stark landscape of the Thar desert.The city is known as the "Sun City" for the bright, sunny weather it enjoys all year. It is also referred to as the "Blue City"[4] due to the blue-painted houses around the Mehrangarh Fort. The old city circles the fort and is bounded by a wall with several gates. However, the city has expanded greatly outside the wall over the past several decades. Jodhpur lies near the geographic centre of Rajasthan state, which makes it a convenient base for travel in a region much frequented by tourists.

Hot Summer in Australia

2012-02-03T22:30:00.000-08:00

Even though we had heard that native animals have been suffering in the heat wave conditions of the last week in Adelaide it came as a surprise to be stopped on the side of the road during a bike ride by a thirsty young koala.

In the southern hemisphere the summer has just ended. It had been a really hot summer in Australia and the koala bear suffered a lot from the weather. Koalas do not drink water, instead they get the water they need from the eucalyptus leaves that they eat. However, it was so hot that the koalas actually had to get water from humans. The cyclists were surprised to see this koala approach them as they stopped to have a drink. The koala bear looked at them with thirsty eyes and they somehow got the message that the little guy was thirsty. They gave his the water bottle and he drank from it as if he had done so his whole life. The other koala is at a house. The owners of the home saw the koala approach and left a tub of water out for it. It not only had a drink but decided to cool off by jumping in!

Well-Known Photographers with their Masterpieces

2012-01-28T00:26:00.000-08:00

These are famous photographers who are holding their iconic pictures. The photos taken in the last 50 years have captured the hearts, and minds, of everyone exposed to the modern media.

Neil Leifer holds his photo, Ali vs. Liston, which he took on May 25, 1965 in Lewiston, Maine.

Bill Eppridge stands with his photo of Robert F. Kennedy after his assassination on June 5, 1968.

Brent Stirton: "This is Virunga, the first National Park in Africa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Silverback Mountain Gorilla, along with 6 females, had been killed by a group trying to intimidate conservation rangers into being less proactive in their efforts against poaching & illegal charcoal making.

There are only about 40 of these Silverbacks in the world, so the Rangers were devastated at the assassination. This procession went on for about 5 kms, moving the 600 pound body over hills & through the forest. Over 120 of these rangers have died in the last 10 years doing this job; most make less than $10 a month. They're heroes, there's just no other word that seems appropriate to describe these incredible African men."

Brian Smith: "The magic of photography happens when you don't see what's coming next."

Douglas Kirkland: "This is from my Evening with Marilyn."

Elliot Erwitt: "The picture I am holding was snapped in 1974 just across the street from my apartment in New York's Central Park. It has been 38 years since that event and sadly I have lost track of the participants."

Harry Benson: "Brian Epstein — Beatles' manager — had just told them they were number one in America, and I was coming with them to New York, 1964."

Jeff Widener holds his photo of Tank Man in Tienanmen Square from 1989.

Karen Kuehn: "From the 1993 Cats Story shot for National Geographic. The director Thomas Kennedy asked me to shoot an entire story about 'cats.' He did not want it to be typical! So problem solving this assignment was good fun. The Russian Blue Cat and Ballerina legs was inspired by George Balanchine — he used the idea of cats landing always on their toes to teach his dancers."

Lyle Owerko: "No one knew such a beautiful warm day would serve as the backdrop to one of the most painful and confusing events to the heart of mankind. This picture is one small part of such a huge event that ties the threads of thousands of stories and millions of people together.

Written words will never convey the whole scope of the event, nor even summarize the sounds, the smells or even the voices that are frozen in my memory bank from that day. I did the best job I could in photographing 9/11 so that future generations would have an idea of the scope of what happened, to have the evidence of how innocence can so easily be snatched away in a razor's edged moment of time.

My hope is that in time the wounds and pain will heal and that wisdom and peace will prevail among the darkness of this event, so that humanity can move forward into a time of grace and understanding."

Mark Seliger: "Originally an inside opener for Rolling Stone cover story of Nirvana in conjunction with the release of In Utero, my first Polaroid (with Negative) was by far the most emotional and revealing of his spirit. Two months later Kurt died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. This photograph became the memorial RS cover."

Mary Ellen Mark: "I am holding my photograph of Ram Prakash Singh and his beloved elephant Shyama — taken in 1990. Ram Prakash Singh was the ringmaster of "The Great Golden Circus." The photograph was done in Ahmedabad India. This was part of my Indian Circus Project.

Steve McCurry holds his 1984 photo of a young woman from Peshawar, Pakistan. "I looked for this girl for 17 years and finally found her in 2002. Her name is Sharbat Gula."

Spotted New Lake Called as Kliluk

2012-01-28T00:09:00.001-08:00

Spotted Lake is a saline endorheic alkali lake located northwest of Osoyoos in British Columbia. It is located near the city of Osoyoos, beside Highway 3.Spotted Lake is very highly concentrated with numerous different minerals. It contains some of the highest quantities (in the world) of magnesium sulfate, calcium and sodium sulphates. It also contains extremely high concentrations of 8 other minerals as well as some small doses of four others such as silver and titanium.

Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, leaving behind all the minerals. Large “spots” on the lake appear and depending on the mineral composition at the time, the spots will be different colors. The spots are made mainly of magnesium sulfate, which crystallizes in the summer. In the summer only the minerals in the lake remain, and they harden to form natural “walkways” around and between the spots. (wikipedia)
